How does the climate of India affect people?
Answers
Explanation:-
The effects of climate change are not subtle anymore. The challenges it presents are threatening- not just our way of life, but putting the future of the world on unstable grounds. As a growing country, India needs to focus on how climate change impacts its development and take initiatives that are sustainable in nature.The increase in mean annual temperature has brought forth unprecedented spells of hot weather across the world, and is affecting countries with warm climate. The shift in temperature is expected to occur far more frequently while encompassing far larger areas than seen before. There has been a recorded decline in monsoon rainfall levels since 1950. And it is suspected that 2°C rise in world’s temperature will make India’s monsoon even more unpredictable. Change in Monsoon could flood certain states in India, while some other states may witness frequent droughts.Many survey reports show that there has been a frequency of droughts in parts of South Asia since 1970, and it has affected India’s crop production. Areas in north-western India, Orissa, Jharkhand, and Chhattisgarh have faced significant fall in crop yield and are suspected to fall further considering the effects of climate change. Coastal cities like Chennai, Mumbai and Kolkata are suspected to be affected due to climate change, which will lead to higher ocean waves.India is highly depended on agriculture and 60% of India’s agriculture is rain-fed.
